Chapter 859.2: Taiyi (2/2)

Taiyi scowled. The last time the little fox returned from the chaos, she’d been on the brink of death. He wouldn’t allow her to risk herself again. Though the tale told in the great wilderness about Taiyi and Yi killing each other due to fighting over Tuzashan might be hearsay, Taiyi’s affections for Tushan weren’t.

“Let them go. They didn’t lose the last time they went there.” Fuxi’s voice suddenly sounded from the golden spirit pearl, which floated out of Lu Yun’s robes in response

“Fuxi… so you’ve come as well!” The emergence of the pearl put Taiyi somewhat at ease. “Then I won’t stop you since Fuxi’s here to protect you.”

He gave Tushan a meaningful look, reluctance still tugging at his heart. When all was said and done, he was nothing but a dead man.

“Have you completed your task?” Lu Yun perked up.

“Not yet.” Fuxi manifested his true self, a human with the body of a snake. “I have to enter the chaos to recover something else first.”

“You… you can’t be serious!” Taiyi reacted immediately when he heard Fuxi’s words.

“Their existence does only harm and no good. If not for them, Pangu wouldn’t have died and you wouldn’t have ended up like this.” Fuxi scoffed. “Put away your useless pity. As long as they’re around, they will destroy the great wilderness sooner or later and this world will become another realm monster!”

Lu Yun turned to Fuxi in horror. The world will become another realm monster?

“Do you know where realm monsters come from, Lie Shan?” Fuxi asked, holding Lu Yun’s gaze.

The little fox turned to Fuxi with curiosity as well.

“Aren’t they transformed from dead worlds?” Lu Yun asked in return.

“Indeed, they originate from dead worlds... The worlds before our own. They’ve all died and become realm monsters!

“Our world will follow the same trajectory,” Fuxi said with an impassive look. “It will die and become another realm monster, which will make us the yin spirits residing within its body.”

Lu Yun took a deep breath. He finally understood why Ashu reacted with such despairing horror when realm monsters were mentioned.

“In the future… realm monsters have been eliminated,” he murmured.

A realm monster was a world, and the world Lu Yun currently resided in was vast and boundless. There were countless worlds in the universe. More than hundreds of millions. How terrifying must realm monsters be?

“The future?” Fuxi shook his head. “If this world is destroyed and turned into a realm monster, there will be no future.

“The universe, in its endless space and time, is the scaffolding of the world… If our world is destroyed by the realm monsters and becomes one of them, the universe will be naught, along with all points in time along this timeline, be it the past or the future!”

The revelation chilled Lu Yun to the bone.
